ICGEB is launching a
new, trial
fellowship programme, which is named after Dr Arturo Falaschi, founder of ICGEB and former A-IMBN Executive Director, for young scientists from its member states to enable them to spend between three and twelve months at a research
institution in an ICGEB Member State other than their own, to enhance skills
building of promising young scientists helping them to acquire specific
hands-on research capacity available from the receiving laboratory.

Fellowships are offered to young
scientists holding at least an MSc or equivalent degree. Eligible applicants should
work in any area of research having a potential translational benefit for the
applicants¡¯ home laboratory. They should be citizens of an ICGEB Member State,
enrolled or employed by a research and training institution in an ICGEB Member
State and wish to be trained in a laboratory of an ICGEB Member State other
than their own.

There
is no age limit.

However,
preference is given to young scientists at the beginning of their research
career.

SMART Fellowships are not intended to
prolong visits begun under other auspices, to support participation to courses,
workshops or symposia or as bridging fellowships between, or prior to, long
term stays funded by ICGEB or other organizations.
